Sony's 'Madame Web' snags worst picture Razzie Award
Feb 28, 2025 11:05 AM

LOS ANGELES, Feb 28 (Reuters) - "Madame Web," an

American superhero film featuring the Marvel Comics character of

the same name, nabbed the most wins at the 45th Razzie Awards on

Friday, including worst picture, actress and screenplay.

The Razzie Awards are the annual Oscar spoof that spotlights

Hollywood's worst performances.

"Seinfeld" actor Jerry Seinfeld's Netflix ( NFLX ) satire about the

cereal industry, "Unfrosted," scored two wins for worst actor

for Seinfeld and worst supporting actress for Amy Schumer.

Tying with "Unfrosted," "Joker: Folie a Deux" and

"Megalopolis" were both crowned with two wins.

"Joker: Folie a Deux" won for worst prequel, sequel, remake

or rip-off and screen combo, while "Megalopolis" earned esteemed

filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola worst director and Jon Voight

worst supporting actor.

Coppola posted a response on Friday to the film's Razzie

wins.

"I am thrilled to accept the Razzie award in so many

important categories for @megalopolisfilm, and for the

distinctive honor of being nominated as the worst director,

worst screenplay, and worst picture at a time when so few have

the courage to go against the prevailing trends of contemporary

moviemaking!" he wrote in an Instagram post.

"In this wreck of a world today, where ART is given scores

as if it were professional wrestling, I chose to NOT follow the

gutless rules laid down by an industry so terrified of risk that

despite the enormous pool of young talent at its disposal, may

not create pictures that will be relevant and alive 50 years

from now," Coppola added.

The Razzie Redeemer Award, bestowed on a past contender who

has "gone on to better things" since being nominated for a

Razzie, went to "The Last Showgirl," which stars Pamela

Anderson.

More than 1,100 Razzie members from across the United States

and about two dozen other countries vote on the awards,

according to the Razzie website.
